Transcript

Make peace with the parts that hold on. You'll grip tighter before you let go. Welcome and accept all of your resistance as the way, The path here to show that the way out will always be in and through. The body in every space between. The reality of what is here and now, Not what your mind makes it mean. So breathe, Sit and meditate. Feel the edges of where your skin meets the air. You'll move towards acceptance only by making peace with the parts that are scared. To root into your life right here and now. To let go of all that was. Don't stay shackled in the cage by the chains of your past. Release the shame and the doubt if only because you are loved. And you don't need to be afraid. Spirit has your back and when you're ready you'll be shown the way. But right now, You're being asked to surrender. To release the grip on all you want to control. You're being asked to lay your burdens down. Feel it all but know your suffering is optional. And when you finally soften and remember, You are so enough and there's nothing more you need to do. The path will open, The fog will clear. Know that spirit has so much in store for you.
